Ingredients
2 tbsp olive oil
1 small sweet onion, diced
4–5 garlic cloves, minced
16 oz fresh spinach, chopped
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated or shredded
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Chop spinach, dice onion, mince garlic, and grate parmesan.
Sauté Veggies: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 3–5 minutes until translucent. Stir in garlic and spinach, cooking another 3–5 minutes until spinach is wilted.
Mix Base: In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, 1/4 cup parmesan, 1/2 cup mozzarella, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Combine: Add the yogurt mixture to the skillet and stir until everything is well incorporated. Cook for 1–2 minutes.
Assemble: Transfer mixture to an oven-safe baking dish. Top with remaining parmesan and mozzarella.
Bake: Bake for 15–20 minutes until hot and bubbly. Broil for 2–3 minutes for a golden, crispy top.
Notes
Greek yogurt makes this dip lighter while adding protein.
Use frozen spinach (thawed and drained) as a quick alternative.
Adjust cheese quantities based on preference for creaminess vs. cheesiness.
Serve with pita, crackers, or fresh veggies.
